Zuidvaal Exotic jams are available in most vendor stalls in the Western Cape as well as other provinces.The name Zuidvaal is derived from the farm's postion..... South of the Vaalriver in the the Amersfoort region, Mpumalanga.

More about Nastergal

Nastergal (African Nightshade berry) is a wild plant that grows only on the Highveld of Mpumalanga, part of Kwazulu Natal and the Free State. It occurred as a weed in our maize fields and were nearly destroyed by the herbicides that we spray on the land to control weed. Nastergal is a purple berry and the jam also has a bright purple colour.The jam is sold as an exotic and unique product because it’s not available everywhere. The Natural berry is a small berry that can only be hand –picked when it’s ripe, so that’s why it’s very labour intense and also provides many work opportunities during season.The jam is marvellous on bread, scones, cheese cakes, in plain yogurt, ice cream, etc.We also have a few other types of jams that are popular among the clients.
